There's Hope Lyrics

Back when I had a little,
I thought that I needed alot.
A little was overrated,
But alot was a little too complicated.

See: Zero didn't satisfy me,
A million didn't make me happy,
That's when I learned the lesson
That it's all about your perceptions.

Hey, are you a popper or a superstar?
So you act, So you feel, So you are.
It ain't about the size of your car,
It's about the size of the faith in your heart.

Chorus:
There's hope,
It doesn't cost a thing to smile,
You don't have to pay to laugh,
You better thanks God for that.
(Repeat)

Up in the back country of Brazil,
I met a young brother that made me feel
That I could accomplish anything
You see, just like me he wanted to sing

He had no windows and no doors,
Lived a simple life and was extremely poor
On top of that he had no eyesight
But that didn't keep him from seeing the light.

He siad: "What's it like in the USA?"
And all I did was complain.
He said: "Living here is paradise."
He taught me paradise is in your mind.

Chrous

Every time I turn on the tv(there's hope
Somebody's acting crazy (there's hope)
Let it, it'll drive you crazy (there's hope)
But I'm taking back my power today(there's hope)
Gas prices, they keep on rising(there's hope)
The government, they keep on lying,
But we gotta keep on surviving,
Keep living our truth and do the best we can do, cause there's hope.

Chorus
(repeat)

Stand up for your rights
keep shining your light
and show the world your smile

Chorus
(repeat)
